I got nothing but respect for Boonen, doping or not. Dude always rode his ass off and his comments lead me to believe he is nothing but gentleman and a hoot of a human being to hang out with.

On the actual topic...dude has been at the elite level for more than 1/2 of his life at this point. I am sure he has plenty of paper to keep him comfortable. Why not head to the friendly confines of the play-by-play booth?
